FAR HORIZONS

Ana Marija Meskova

From a young age, Ana Marija has been fascinated by the written word. Feeling the need to release the characters from her head she turned to create that which occupied a large portion of her life. Her imagination making use of everything around her, she sculpts scenes which can be both dreamy and dark in a way. Only one thing is certain, she will keep following her motto - Everything I write brings me closer to the quality I Artwork by Keith Whittington want my work to have.

 

Tyger St Germaine:

Long ago in a small village town located within the flatlands, a tiny orphaned tiger cub was taken in by a family. Even at a young age the little cub showed promise and creativity. Upon learning to read and write she quickly found a love for writing and storytelling. But in that young age is when she learned the dark truth of the family that took her in. They were cruel to her and shunned her passion outright. The tiger cub took to reading and writing in secret, for fear of what they may do if they ever learned she was disobeying them. Things grew worse when dyslexia began to plague the little cub causing her to struggle with reading and writing. Discouraged by those around her and now suffering within, the cub found herself alone most of the time. Only her thoughts were there to provide her any comfort in her darkest moments. In her mind she saw great heroes faced with unbeatable odds and rising above them. She too wanted to be as great of a hero as the ones living out in her head. But the road to greatness would be long and taxing. The following years would be hard and grueling pushing her mind to understand the words and record the never ending stories that played in her mind. Through it all her own personal style in how she weaved the words made itself known. It was simple but not without depth, much like her own soul. Her journey brought her to others much like herself, those that struggled to read and had all but given up. It was that moment she finally understood her destiny. To use her once-shunned gift to re-spark the magic of stories for those that have become lost and inspire the souls of many more. From there the little cub was no longer little nor a cub. She shed the name given to her when she was found and chose her own name that was more fitting. Bearing a mask to hide her identity she called herself Tyger Saint Germaine, the Loremaster of untold Artwork 

 

Endiry Shade

Endiry Shade was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She's travelled a lot and even learned a little. Her tastes tend toward the dark or at least eclectic, and her interests range from mythology, the history and migration of language and culture, the occult, to gardening and baking. She lives with her adoptive family of folks, friends, and too many cats and spends her days engrossed in studies and imaginary intrigues within her own little world..

 

C.j Muggleston

I'm C.j. I am an unpublished author as of yet, but that is simply because my works are still in the works. I find that I'm different from other writers in several ways. I haven't the faintest clue who my inspirations are, and often times end up inspiring myself, which some may think a ridiculous notion but hey, we're all different. It's what makes Humanity beautiful. I have never taken a creative writing class or been trained in any way. I discovered I had natural literary talent over a year ago and have been writing ever since. I'm just a normal guy that can pen out a great story.

 

Thea Gilchrist:

When it comes to reading, Thea's no stranger to it. She practically grew up in the school library... She was happiest curled up in a corner with a good book in front of her. Even school reading assignments were fun to her, because she loved to read, no matter what it was. But it wasn't until shortly before she found out her mother had cancer that she started writing... She had a pen, an empty notebook and no idea what was going to come from it. As with most true artists, she is a slave to her muse and has many projects that are currently incomplete, but she's hoping to go back and finish them someday soon. She cites several different authors as those who guide and inspire her, the literary legend Piers Anthony among them. (Check out his Xanth novel series if you want lots of laughter.) And though her mother is no longer physically with her, Thea plans to dedicate her first novel to her.

 

Valery Riddle

Having written her first poem at 8 and her first short story at 12, Valery Riddle has come a long way from an amateur to a self-taught writer as she was trying to find herself in the one talent that really mattered. Between the understanding that small scribbles on the paper might mean something more than simple everyday words and the hope that she has something to contribute, the writer dared to go deeper into the shadows of human weaknesses and desires to find the unquenched well of subjects. Be it an innocent human error behind some drastic action or frightful hidden motives in everyday life, Valery sets on a journey to put her characters in such circumstances that would reveal it all. Just another face in the crowd, she watches people

 

Rose A Campbell:

Inspired by all things fantasy and fairy tale, Rose A. Campbell's work is not to be missed. Her painstaking attention to detail as well as her often whimsical (and sometimes dark) spin on everyday things have been called "a joy to the reader". She has had short stories, artwork, and poetry published in various online publications over the past 10 years

 

Arkady Szantovitch

Arkady Szantovitch is a glorious Renaissance man who hides amongst the populace of Toronto. Poetic epics have been written in honour of his glorious hair and beard, whilst a statue bearing his likeness stands at the foot of Everest after having scaled its peaks while carrying a Sherpa on his back. He has penned many a shameless love letter to the exploitation genre he so loves. When not tending bar, Arkady can be found politely turning down the political leadership of Namibia. History shall remember him as the man who brokered the Treaty of Versailles, but he tries to remain humble and allow the French to claim credit for it.

 

Archon Dia

Arkon Dia, from the beginning, has been plagued by a fascination of the arts and the sciences. Finding himself consumed by the endless possibilities the world has to offer and with a healthy dose of imagination, he has found himself endeavoring to understand and appreciate all he is presented with, recording his thoughts and ideas through writing. Gifted with a natural tendency for introspection and discovery, he has developed a writing style that takes the seemingly mundane and turns it into a riveting experience, full of empathic emotions integrated into fantastic scenarios that would have the readers experiencing a life they could live out of this world. Arkon is mostly inspired by thoughts of tomorrow. Intertwined with creative depictions of events and people, his writing aims to strike a resounding chord within every reader. To date he has only been published once, back in 2009, in a poetry anthology
